The kits shown are Adidas kits.As far as i'm aware our contract with Nike lasts until 2014 so unless something changes i doubt we'll be wearing those kits next season
Yes it does end in 2014. So unless we buy-out the final year of the contract Adidas won't come in till after 2014. Nope, it ends 2014.
Doesn't seem likely. Just having a stab in the dark but if they were real leaks, it could be that Adidas are either in negotiations and preparing to begin talks with Arsenal and these are the initial designs for their 14/15 kits that have been "Arsenalised" to use in their meetings.

Nice kits, but as others have said, the Nike deal doesn't expire until the end of the 2013/14 season, so maybe they're designs planned for the 14/15 season.
Its extremely unlikley they would have a kit designed over a year before any potential deal can start.
I like the kits, but those are looking a lot like United's kits... at least the one's I remember. Their white away kit from 2 years ago..
If those were real kits (unlikely), they're likely just prototypes. Adidas are in discussions with Arsenal to take over as our kit supplier from 2014, they'll obviously have produced prototypes of their designs, whether any of the alleged Adidas Arsenal kits on the net are legitimate it's impossible to know. It's not definite Adidas will become our kit supplier anyway, Nike haven't made a decision yet although I understand that their period of exclusivity (in which they could have arrange a new deal without being outbid by someone else) has now expired hence the alleged Adidas discussions. Adidas is looking the most likely at the minute.
Why are Nike so slow in trying and get a new deal with us? Do they no longer think we are worth the money?
We're their third most popular team in terms of sales I think (apologies if I've got that wrong). Seems they're just unwilling to pay us what we're demanding. at the minute at least. Remember Nike pay us pittance currently compared to what a new deal will likely cost.
As stated they must be prototypes for an Adidas bid. I quite like them. But, unless we change supplier, I thought we only changed 1 kit each year (alternating home and away) so that each kit lasts 2 years?
